Progress

Montgomery County Outreach Programs are committed to transforming the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness through comprehensive street outreach that restores dignity and partners with individuals to reach their housing and life goals. Using a collaborative approach to street outreach, providers within the Continuum of Care will be able to identify, engage and assess individuals in need of services, refer and keep engaged individuals connected to services, report any changes to individual statuses, document contact and collect needed documentation for referred programs and services.

We do this by meeting people where they are in order to build client-centered relationships and by establishing creative community partnerships that eliminate barriers to services. The goal is to provide housing to those who need it. Based on vulnerability, persons are classified and connected to housing resources via the Coordinated Entry System (CES).
